How common is DAG1 p.Asp440= (c.1320C>T) in the general population?

DAG1 p.Asp440= (c.1320C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00267%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Walker-Warburg syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
